Injured Cummins out of England ODIs

The Aussie pacer sustained a muscle strain in the first ODI at Lord\'s on Friday.

Melboure: Oft-injured fast bowler Pat Cummins has an abdominal muscle strain and will leave Australia's one-day tour of England to return home for treatment.

Cricket Australia said in a statement Sunday that Cummins sustained a left-side muscle strain during the first one-day international against England at Lord's on Friday, a 15-run loss to the home side.

Australian team doctor John Orchard said Cummins "was sore after the game and was scanned, the results of which have revealed a medium grade side-strain. This will keep him out of the remainder of the England tour."

A heel injury had kept 19-year-old Cummins out of international cricket for six months since his Test debut against South Africa in November.
